HomeMy WebLinkAbout5/1/2018 Item 2, Laurel Lane Safety CommitteeDear Mayor Harmon and San Luis Obispo City Council Members,
We are the Laurel Lane Safety Committee. We are residents and business owners in the Laurel Lane
neighborhood.
Our mission: We would like Laurel Lane to be a street that is SAFE! Safe for kids in the crosswalks! Safe
for kids riding their bikes! Safe for all pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists! Cars driving the speed limit and
obeying crosswalk law. Street lighting for good visibility at dawn/dusk/night. And school crosswalks that
scream safety!
We are asking you to approve and fund not only the restriping/traffic diet, BUT ALSO FUND & APPROVE
1) Repair streetlights(4 streetlights not working on Laurel Lane) and improve crosswalk lighting. (Laurel &
Orcutt intersection is well lit, but Laurel & Southwood intersection and Laurel & Augusta intersections are
not well lit).
2) School Zone Crosswalks at both Laurel/Southwood and Laurel/Augusta should SCREAM SAFETY!
Improve lighting, improve signage(with flashing lights), painted bulbouts, raised crosswalks, etc. Crossing
guard at Southwood also?
3) Speed limit lower to 30 mph with signage, education, and enforcement!
Thank You!
Laurel Lane Safety Committee
